Problem Description As an employee of a local manufacturing company, you have been hired by one of the shipyards to design and construct a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is required to cool 150 metric tons per hour of liquid ammonia from 60C to 30C, using liquid water at a temperature of 10C. The heat exchanger must meet certain parameters as the following: - Ammonia is highly corrosive - Fouling is significant on both the inner and outer surfaces of the tubes with approximate resistance of 0.0002m2.K/W for the ammonia, and 0.0001m2.K/W for water. - Commercial tubing should be used with a BWG gauge of 16 . - A maximum tube length of 24 feet is required due to space limitations. - Must use a baffle cut of 25%. - Maximum pressure drop on both sides of the heat exchangers cannot exceed 10 psi. This heat exchanger will be located at an ammonia processing facility that could be exposed to external weather conditions but preferred inside an enclosed warehouse where heat exchanger's outside temperatures are better controlled (i.e. less fluctuation). Potential leaks can be detected better indoors on stable concrete floors. You are required to design a shell-and-tube heat exchanger using the effectiveness-NTU method with hand calculations for n shell and m tube passes, provide a data sheet for the heat exchanger and comment on the size of the heat exchanger and on whether the right choice in the design has been made. Provide recommendations to make the heat exchanger more efficient
